So I was having this conversation with a friend about my ex and she asked me, "Who broke up?"
I said, "She"
My friend was like, "It should be her and not "she"?
Could someone please help me out on this?

Your choices are "She did" or "Her". You can't use a mix of both. For details, see this excellent answer on the question I'm closing this one as a duplicate of. – RegDwigнt Jun 29 '19 at 17:02

@RegDwigнt Would there be anything wrong with "She [did]", with the "did" elided? But I would accept it would probably be more idiomatic to say "her". – WS2 Jun 29 '19 at 17:05

@WS2 if you elided the "did", you'd be left with just the "she", so that's one thing for starters that would be wrong with that. – RegDwigнt Jun 29 '19 at 19:57

1@RegDwigнt It seems hardly worth arguing about. I agree that "she" does not sound idiomatic, but I don't really see what's wrong with it. – WS2 Jun 29 '19 at 20:13
